Just back from a two night stay in the Arlington hotel o connell bridge. A great hotel all the staff were so friendly and helpful couldn't fault any of them. The rooms were grand really warm the radiator in the bathroom was hopping off he wall and never went off at times it was a bit too much,. The only thing I could suggest is the towels while they were clean they didn't use any softener and they didn't smell too fresh even though they were. The bedroom doors,and carpets need freshening up as does the breakfast room but the hotel is spotless. The food in the bar is lovely with a great choice and the breakfast is great the lady in charge of the breakfast room was second to none making time to chat to all the guests. The show was excellent only drawback for them was a small crowd in the winter. Musicians and dancers all excellent great nights entertainment. All in all delighted with it will definitely go back.

My second trip and second review of The Arlington Hotel! The first was in June with my sister, this time we took an extra FOURTEEN wimon with us for a girlie weekend and wow! What a weekend was had!! This has to One of the best if not 'the best' hotel in Dublin! Loved everything about it:- The location, the food, the entertainment and the best bit is the staff, everyone we met was lovely...from the check in staff to the security men on the door to the housekeeping staff..all were courteous and pleasant..We had the dinner and dance show included in our package and it was excellent, we enjoyed it immensly and by the looks on everyones faces in the packed room for the show, everyone else did too, it's definately a must especially if your'e stayingfor two nights! The entertainment seems to be top class the whole time, great 80's hits being belted out in the bar and a great Beatles tribute band on the Saturday night. Roxy's downstairs is the place to dance into the early hours. Everyone in our group had nice spacious rooms and we all commented on the lovely buffet breakfast with full Irish and choice a-plenty. If your'e someone who likes to turn in at 10 pm and dosn't like a bit of lively music in a hotel then my advice would be to get a room up on a higher floor, where as if your'e like ourselves..(not party animals, wer'e all in our forties but love a bit of music and craic, then go here)! Generally, a lovely clean, ideally located city centre hotel with a really good athmosphere! Wer'e already making plans to go back again next year. Well done all at the Arlington :-)

Stayed in the arlington the other night with two of my friends for a night in dublin i have to say it was a great night out and the hotel was exceptional. The reception workers were great very helpful even when i booked it over the phone also had a great laugh with the night porter that let us in later in the night nice guy..the food in the bar was class and the staff were great. Only bad comment is that the room decor was only alright could do with a touch up. Other than that the rest of the hotel look lovely and we defintly will be back!

We didn't stay here but were recommended to come for the evening by friends. And we had the best night out of the holiday!! The Irish band were fantastic really getting the audience involved and were very good musicians. The Irish dancing was also good. 4 dancers on a very small stage!!

You can eat and get a table for the night near the stage for 30 euros each for a 3 course meal, or take your chances for a chair at the bar. Both seem good options

Def will go back when next in Dublin

Just returned from a weekend break with the girls. Stayed at the Arlington O'connell and had a fab time. The hotel is very central for shopping and pubs, with Temple bar just 2mins away. Staff very friendly rooms very good and clean and food just fantastic. A must have ... breakfast. This hotel also offers everything all under one roof . Going to Dublin.. this hotel is the one to book. Check it out.

I have not been a guest at this hotel, but attended the Irish music and dance show. It is 30 Euros a person (12 for kids) and includes three courses and three hours of entertainment. I decided to book after passing by one day and meeting the genial guards outside the door.

If I were rating the show alone, it would have been 5 stars, but dinner was also part of the package. We were underwhelmed by the food - you only get a few choices, and mine was pretty bad. I had a melon appetizer that couldn't have been smaller, the salad with salmon (filled with bones), and a tiny dessert sampler (we didn't have the usual choices as they were in the process of changing their menu) that I'm pretty sure had just been defrosted. Service was terrible, our waitress looked completely overwhelmed and we waited about forty minutes at one point to get her attention for another drink.

HOWEVER, we didn't go to the Arlington looking for a great meal. We were excited about the show, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our vacation! I had tried to book Merry Ploughboys or Johnnie Fox's, but neither had a show that evening since it is low season. I'm SO glad we found the Arlington - the ticket is cheaper and it's located right in the heart of city center, so there was no need for the expense or time involved with a bus journey to the other places.

The band that performed the evening we were there was engaging, hilarious, and extremely talented. The dancers were great, and my younger sister and I even got pulled onto the stage to perform with them! There was a lot of audience participation and it made for a really great evening.

Thank you for your review. I do apologize that you do not feel that you received the full experience that we offer. You are correct that I have been upgrading the Menu to make the Dinner as much a part of the experience as the Show itself. I wish to assure you that I have done extensive training with my staff and with the coming launch of our new 'Celtic Nights' I am incorporating all feed back to ensure that every patron receives the unique experience that I feel only we can offer. Please contact me to discuss this further on operations@arlington.ie but be assured that 'Celtic Nights' will be the everything that we can make it be for our guests.Kind Regards,Eugene FortuneOperations Manager

We stayed here for 3 nights 17-20 November, room was lovely and clean, all staff were very friendly especially the bar staff who gave good tips on where to visit, Breakfast was fantastic with everything you could think of to choose from. The evening meals were just as good, we only ate in hotel one night as wanted to explore other places, both had a steak which was delcious, the hotel night time entertainment was good with local Irish band and Irish dancers.The hotel is situated in the heart of city at O'connell bridge which was great for accessing everywhere. It was easy to get to from airport, when you come out of arrivals door look for bus 747 which cost 6 euros each and driver will keep you right at which stop to get off on O'connell street, when get off bus cross over road and head towards bridge at Liffey and hotel is to the right of bridge, dont go over bridge as you will be too far.The hotel faces onto the Liffey. We would definately stay here again.
